GE Swivel top

Compactelectra,
thanks for sharing the pics. That is the same version of the swivel top I had before I got my current one.

Was called Premiere. I am not sure what...

the actual history and ownership was though."

Well, Compactelectra, GE had bought out the Premier Company (the one that made the Premier Duplex, but by the time of the buyout, Premier was in sad shape. I forgot when it happened (early 50s?) The Premier actually stayed around a long time. I can;t figure out why - basically, GE was competing with itself, tho' toward the end of their production of vacuums, GE stopped making their own version of the Premier-like machines. Appliance manfr's are a strange breed.
